Tae Ho
In the shining galaxy of A.N.JELL, Bangtan Sonyeondan & CNBLUE
holy sh*t WOW! i have seen Bo Gum being strong and tough in Hello Monster but here he surprised me even more!truth to be honest i have only been enjoying myself completely so far, i don't see any boring moments at all. maybe because of Bo Gum, but actually the relationships are interesting.the ending scene of this episode where he's acting a scene in a movie as a side character (a rich chaebol who's evil and about to beat the crap out of the male lead), his mannerisms, his posture, his clean corporate look and his evil/wicked gaze ARE TOTAL BOSS!!!I LOVE HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS NOONA MANAGER AND HIS GRANDPA, also with the FL. must be nice for the FL to get to be friends with her biggest crush, but i guess it's not entirely impossible considering he's not an actor yet when they started the friendship so there's no controversy on his part.i am actually invested in all of the characters here to be honest, i think each characters whether main or support characters are given enough screen time to add to the story. the story is sincere, earnest and heartwarming, even with some of the 'problematic' characters for now e.g. his father.i am really quite blown away by this drama, as i said mainly because i am seeing Bo Gum's new sides, he's really owning his role and the drama. i realise that i must watch other dramas of his that i haven't watched, and i am also looking forward to PSJ's cameo.score for the episode: 10/10.

wow i didn't expect the first episode to be a banger since i read some comments saying that it's slow/boring. i didn't feel that, i enjoyed every second into the show. Bo Gum looks so different with that hairstyle and i think it suits his character a lot. i feel like i can root for all the main characters in the show, they are seem like very earnest young people tryna make a good living for themselves by achieving their life goals. and the mothers in the show are so damn pretty too WTF they look way too good (for their age)!i think i will really enjoy this one! and the ending, what was that?! that makes my heart flutter, auwhhh :)

wow every episode's cliffhanger is really outstanding that this drama is not letting me sleep lmao. i have also not rated any episode up to this point below 10, the story's development is just great. what i am hoping for is that the ending would not be entirely conclusive since this is a 7(?) season show they are trying to condense into 16 episodes 1 season show. i wish they would do season 2 of this like Stranger!

yup this is how you make the first episode of a drama. it's kinda full of sass and unbothered king energy, i loved it in Hyena and i definitely will love it here!

There are some parts which I wanted to see more of but didn't get, and will be explained in my full review of the drama.

LOL the National Singing Competition!!!! *spoiler ahead don't open unless you've watched the show* when Dong Ryong was ready to sing his English song and then there's a Black guy who apparently has such a beautiful voice singing the same song he wanted to sing, and he gulped in despair. so during his turn he only sang one line and they shut him off HAHAHAHAHA!also when it was Ra Mi Ran's turn to perform but the egg casket seller accidentally exchanged her tape to his, so she danced to an egg truck 'song' HAHAHAHA. the way they had to drag her off the stage LOL that was way too funny i laughed so hard.ouchh also the scenes when Taek's father finally confessed to him that he likes Sun Woo's mother and he immediately gave his approval.also the final scene when Taek cancelled his trip on Saturday from China to see/confess to Duk Seon because Jung Hwan accidentally left his wallet where Taek saw he kept their photo together.fckkkk i am having a roller coaster of emotions :((

my God, the pace of this drama is insanely good! *spoiler here please don't open unless you have watched the drama LOL* I didn't expect that they'd make this episode the one where she'd already find out about her husband's identity given they tried to confuse us in ep. 5. this is like the perfect thriller for me, i really hope this drama continues to deliver right till the very end.

woahh this episode was so good. loved it when the FL was panicking like crazy, she acts her character really well. *spoiler ahead please don't open without having watched the episode* and also the fact that the FL kept on pursuing the ML although he never treated her warmly, it kind of reminds me of the expression "it's okay, my love for you will be enough for the both of us" LOL. also the taxi driver (revenge killer), will he have died from that head trauma? or maybe he'll be comatose for a long time, either way he is such a dangerous b*tch who deserved it.

at some point, i feel like this drama tries too hard to be funny, e.g. when they cast an older looking actor as Duk Seon's younger brother. i'm sure that physical characterization was part of the script, ugh.and this episode doesn't really do it for me. they suddenly established in this episode that Jung Bong has a congenital heart disease, and yet they resolved it with a successful surgery also in the same episode. they show how scared he is for the surgery but i am frustrated as hell because there's no proper build up and tension to the background of his character.

okay this was a really great episode.from how the parents in that neighbourhood tried to create snowman to make Jin Joo happy for Christmas (but she actually meant something totally different that is snowman the vanilla ice cream LOL), to Taek and his father's scenes. when he got upset about not remembering his son's childbirth moments like a mother would, that was sad to see. but Sun Woo's mother was with him, and i think they should marry each other haha. she's such a wonderful mother to her kids, and i'd love to think that Taek's father would remarry to a good woman like her. both father and son are quiet inexpressive people, so i can see why Taek usually looks lonely and always have teary eyes :( if they marry, that would be nice for both of their little families. also Duk Seon's scenes with Jung Hwan LOL she's way too dumb not to pick up on his feelings yet. Jung Hwan's always mean to her so i kinda see why she doesn't expect anything lmao.

holy sh*t Lee Joon Gi is knocking this character out of the park!!! *well sorry i have to mumble uselessly because the spoiler is going to appear on my feed and i don't want that - spoiler ends LOL*. at the 24th minute when he met the wife of the murdered person (his ex-colleague when working at the restaurant), he pretended to be the reporter and showed his remorse over the murder but behind those eyes we can see the smallest glimpses of him faking the facial expressions!!!! THAT HE DOESN'T FEEL ANYTHING INSIDE, REMOTELY. i am fckin blown away, wow! also the scenes when he lovingly talked to his daughter and then the second he closed off the phone or turned away, his face changes holy sh*t he's scary. love the fighting scene between him and his detective wife at the warehouse! but the ending where he dropped his watch with his initials on, i think that kinda irked me off. i feel like we're only on ep. 4 and it's too early to expose him like that. i was hoping that maybe he could've dropped something, but an item that is not uniquely identifiable to its owner sighhh.

WTF was this finale. It was not as satisfying as the episodes preceeding it.I have 3 desired things left unanswered by this drama:1. The video recorder. I don't know why they totally skipped the part where Jang Ki Ho went to search for it by himself (what's the code used for). And it wasn't even used as an evidence to persecute Sang Ho for Su Jung's murder WTF.2. Did Eun Ho lived on without identifying himself as the son of the school's chairman? LOL he has every rights to be formally included in the family tree of his father, also a portion of his wealth.3. Cha Young Jin and Sun Woo. She took a break from her job to rest, but we didn't get to see how Sun Woo tried to get closer to her during this time. LOL what a waste, it didn't even need to be so elaborate.4. I am annoyed that the trio looked like they're still awkward with each other when they should've looked more comfortable around each other now. It's just frustrating to see.All in all, I was annoyed that I could see these loopholes in the finale because I was really close to give it a 10 but i can't anymore.Nevertheless, a damn good story is still a damn good story. I enjoyed this drama completely. ❤Love love love all the main casts & teenage actors, they're brilliant. ❤❤❤❤

OMG this episode made me cry like a baby.:((The best episode so far! So many things happened in this episode.1. Flashback to the actual night when Eun Ho fell from the rooftop of the hotel to the top of the car (he was trying to live when running away from Baek Sang Ho's wingmen).2. Flashback to the time when he found out that he is the biological son of the school's chairman and also his teacher's nephew.3. He woke up on his hospital bed and telling Cha Young Jin that he remembered everything including Baek Sang Ho being the real killer of her best friend and their mutual emotional breakdown.4. The scene when Cha Young Jin went to police disciplinary committee and had her long-time mentor dismissed because he decided to take up the fall on her behalf, so she could continue investigating. It was sad to see how broken she was because her mentor got fired instead of receiving an honorable retirement for his career for a sin that was hers. :((5. The scene when Cha Young Jin no longer wants to keep the truth from her subordinates and straight away told them that the main suspect is Baek Sang Ho. Also they thought she was suspended but she was not LOL, that was funny.What a gem of an episode!!!! Fckin incredible drama. ❤❤❤❤

ouh my God. where do i even start?!1. the way they begun the drama with a beautiful fairytale animation, wow that's gorgeous. exactly the kind of back editing that i expected from TKEM but we didn't get.2. Seo Ye Ji fits the damn role perfectly!!! i think it's also the charm of her deep husky voice so this kind of alluring and mysterious character naturally suits her a lot!3. Kim Soo Hyun's character. when the female patient hugged him and threw up on his clothes and then slapped him for smiling LOL that scene was so funny. i wonder if that supporting actress saved a life in the past to be able to hug KSH like that lmao she's so lucky. also the fckin abs!!!! i literally choked-this is my first KSH drama and i can't help but admire at his beauty. HE'S WAY TOO GORGEOUS!!!!!!5. KSH's special brother. the scene when they walked down the incline with their back facing the sunset, that scene was gorgeous AF. i can see and appreciate multiple scenes where the camera director shows off his skills brilliantly. i expect nothing less than spectacular cinematography from tvN lol.i actually really enjoyed Hotel del Luna but i admit that some reviews that pointed to its flaws are reasonable critiques. just from this episode alone i can already see that this drama is a massive upgrade from what HDL was and more. the marriage of themes for this drama only screams sheer brilliance on the part of the writer.i can't wait to watch further into the story.
